Frigidaire A00099902 Dishwasher Handle And Latch Assembly OEM Part

After searching for hours online, I finally found a you tube video called: Diagnose & Repair a Bad Latch on a Frigidaire Dishwasher (GLD2250RDC4) . His explanation and directions were sooo easy and it worked! So I didn't have to call a repairman or buy a new control panel and the part cost $30.00, Easy!

Used Torx wrench to remove (6) screws holding door control panel. Detach the latch wiring (2 pieces) from rest of control panel (I used pliers to grip the casings). Remove (2) latch mounting screws. Replace latch, wiring and screws. Repair took under 10 minutes.

Checked power with voltage tester. Power went to board and door latch. Read a bit that the door latch switches faulted. Call appliance parts spoke to a young lady who was very helpful in reviewing my issue. She informed me that I could return the part if it did not fix the problem. I ordered the door latch. Received in two business days, replaced it and dishwasher is working again. One safety note - turn the power off . There is a bit of an exposed part of the prongs on the switch that don't full get covered by the connectors. Low and behold the latch slipped out of my hand and the prong somehow touched the metal of washer, sparked and breaker tripped. Fortunately I'd did not burn out the switch. Lesson learned. Also note that beside a Phillips screwdriver you need a star tip screwdriver or bit if a ratchet type screwdriver which I used.

Replaced main door switch, it controls all power

New door latch assembly.
